@Fu that's hilarious. You are preferred by the market since you only need to cover publishing costs, while the author has to cover publishing costs and the pay for actually writing the book. So you have more resources due to stealing their book, so you can get the same thing out of the door cheaper and/or better, so you win every time unless you somehow manage to fuck that up anyway.

To work, the market requires some enforcement of property. This includes intellectual property. Period.

@icedquinn every interpreted language eventually arrives at a point where it curses the parts of its design that prevent it from being at least partially JIT-compilable.

IIRC Erlang recently mainlined JIT support by default. Erlang is nearly 40 years old by now.

@kim_harding @DrHyde informing oneself about what, dumbfuck protesters being repeat offenders? Story as old as time, they block a major street, piss off everyone, cause collateral damage by blocking emergency services, creating a stressful and polluting jam and making people late for work/train/date/plane/whatever, they get a slap on the wrist with a more serious suspended sentence and then proceed to ignore that, go back to do the exact same thing and rinse and repeat until they get actual jail time. At which point people like you show up to cry about "peaceful protesters" getting jail time.

Oh, and on the topic of "informing yourself", Just Stop Oil was confirmed to be partially funded by a family of an oil magnate. They're so stupid and harmful to their cause, the actual oil lobby helps fund them to ruin the public opinion of environmental activists, and you defend them for free.

@theorytoe it was absolutely only a matter of time before someone ported Linux to WASM. All hail The System That Works Fucking Everywhere.

@icedquinn also known as "the googles project", take a guess which word "google" replaces lol

I can't find the original "dictionary" picture tho

@apophis @icedquinn autonomous drones are impossible without computers, directly remote-controlled drones can get jammed. But yeah, remotely fired lasguns are too powerful to be ignored.

@icedquinn I respect it, Dune's Shields are pretty much one of the only sci-fi shields that make sense - stop dangerous (fast-moving) things, but still allow you to grab things and breathe air.

The lasers thing is a bit of a stretch though lol

@Hyolobrika ever met an Apple stan?
